Mumbai:
Six years after Sooraj Barjatyahelmed a project, the filmmaker is now gearing up for his nextdirectorial venture and has also expressed a desire to workwith his lucky mascot Salman Khan.
"I am writing my script and should be starting shootingsoon," Sooraj said.
He made his directorial debut with Maine Pyar Kiya(1989) starring Salman, which was a huge box office hit. Heteamed up with Salman again for Hum Aapke Hain Kaun (1994),one of the highest all-time blockbusters, and Hum Saath SaathHain(1999) which also became a hit.
His next two films, Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon andVivah did not have Salman in the lead. The former, starringHrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan, failedat the box office, but his next film as a director Vivah(2006) starring Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao was a success.
It's been years since Sooraj and Salman Khan have cometogether for a film. When asked if there is anything in thepipeline, Sooraj said, "It is yet too early to say, but itis my dream to make a film with him again."
He recently launched his new TV serial Jhilmil SitaronKa Aangan Hoga.
Rajshri Productions has had a successful stint on televisionwith shows like Woh Rehne Waali Mehlon Ki, Pyaar Ke Do Naam Ek Raadha Ek Shyaam, Yahan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli.
Talking about the new show, Sooraj said, "Today, girlsare doing so well in their professions, men and women bothwork and contribute financially to the family. Sometimes womenearn more than men and this often creates friction. We aretrying to say that money should never come in between."
The story revolves around Aakash, who marries Angana andenters the Raichand family as a ghar-jamai.
When asked whether the show is loosely based on the movieGhar Jamai, Sooraj said, "This is not true at all. We havebased our show in Indore where we have a house where thecustom is of having Ghar Jamais. This show is a love story."
